Books

The two core team developers Pieter Noordhuis and Salvatore Sanfilippo are writing the book "Redis: the Definitive Guide" for O'Reilly Media that will be available in a few months.

The following is a list of books covering Redis that are already published:

• The Little Redis Book by Karl Seguin is a great free and coincise book that will get you started with Redis.
